So, you actually think losing more than half of BB's audience somehow translates to "it retained a lot of BB's audience"?

It'll plummet even further next week with all of the terrible reviews (The Onion AV Club has already reviewed next week's ep and gave it a C-).

Re: Low Winter Sun -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 8/11/13
 

Some of these shows need to learn how to hook people early. If it's a slow burn once you've got people hooked, that's fine.

But start off with boring characters/slow-to-move storylines etc., and it's over.

Apparently The Killing got pretty good this year, but I didn't watch much after dealing with the first 2 seasons in their entirety, amazingly.

Re: Low Winter Sun -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 8/11/13
 

I agree. With only a 10-episode first season there's enough time to get something going while not feeling like you're wasting your time investing in the show. I'm looking forward to Sunday's episode.

I enjoyed it. It helps that I really enjoy this cast. While a little odd in how their expressions were beforehand, I liked the reveal that they duped the security camera footage.

Also, I don't mind not having every detail explained in the pilot. Gives us something to look forward to in future episodes.

Re: Low Winter Sun -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 8/11/13
 

Yeah, so far, so good though the side-story was seemingly way out to the side. I didn't think it was particularly slow.

Re: Low Winter Sun -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 8/11/13
 

Don't worry, I'm sure the geniuses running AMC have already secretly renewed this series for two more seasons.:lol:

Re: Low Winter Sun -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 8/11/13
 

Not impressed at all ..... I'll go with the 2nd episode, but if that doesn't do it for me, I'll pass on the rest of the season.

Re: Low Winter Sun -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 8/11/13
 

Didn't hold my attention, and my TV watching time is limited. Done. Maybe I'll catch it on Prime or Netflix someday.

Finally got around to watching this tonight. Red Dog pretty much summed it up for me. I also thought James & Strong were great.

Re: Low Winter Sun -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 8/11/13
 

Finally watched this last night as well and agree with several of you about the side-story. Took away from the rest of the episode (which I really liked and was invested in), so I hope it evolves into something interesting.

Re: Low Winter Sun -- Series Premiere -- "Pilot" -- 8/11/13
 

The show will do fine if it's at least a little bit clever in the writing. I liked a couple of suggestions that someone made on another forum. They were:

1.) Frank and Damon are brothers/half-brothers.

2.) Damon somehow discovers that Frank and Joe killed Brendan. He uses that information to blackmail both of them into doing his dirty work.

If nothing else, these sound like a much-needed way to link the main plot with the subplot, and it opens up plenty of storyline possibilities.
